The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

If every household in the U.S. and Canada replaced just one package of 20 count tall kitchen drawstring bags made from virgin plastic with our 55% repurposed product we could save:

45,000 barrels of oil - That's enough to heat and cool 2,600 homes for a year!

Using recycled plastic saves landfill space and promotes recycling!

We all know how important it is to recycle, to keep unnecessary amounts of garbage out of our overcrowded landfills. By reusing plastic materials that have fulfilled their intended end use (called ' post-consumer recycled material') and turning them into recycled products like this one, we play an important part in the overall recycling process.

The process of manufacturing from recycled material required 40% less energy compared to bags made from virgin plastic. This reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere - and helps slow global warming. Processing crude petroleum into virgin plastic creates many dangerous facilities in the United States emit over 37 million pounds of toxic air emissions and create over 2.5 billion pounds of production-related waste each year.

This pollution and waste is dramatically reduced or avoided entirely with trash bags made from recycled materials.

Warnings

To avoid danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages and playpens.
